Description

Share this:

Are vanilla mines boring? No better way of getting experience than mining nether quartz? Missing any pre-iron armor making it hard to deal with monsters? Too many cobblestones and quartz in the chests?

This mod expands survival and mines by adding new ores, over 60 new recipes, items, armors, weapons, tools, blocks and a working backpack.

This mod also helps you to contain blocks like cobblestone in chests and gives you some useful (missed or deleted in vanilla) recipes like 2 logs into 16 sticks to help you progress faster!

 

Available version are forge 1.12.2, forge 1.14.4 and forge 1.15.2!

 

Mod is free, I made it to just make survival more entertaining by adding some stuff I thought vanilla Minecraft could have / or should have.

 

Languages included: English (UK/US), Spanish, Polish.

Hardened blocks:
– cobblestone – when you are a miner you always have stacks of cobblestone hard to contain in chests.
– quartz – mining quartz used to be the fastest way of getting experience and you always had stacks of quartz hard to contain in chests.
– stone – players often smelted stacks of cobblestone to get additional experience from it, making them have loads of stone hard to contain in chests.
– netherrack – you get a lot of this in Nether because it's everywhere and it's easy to mine.
– hardened cobblestone can be smelt into hardened stone.
 ~ hardened blocks are like f.e. lapis blocks – they help you contain loads of blocks in chests by connecting them and then crafting back.

 

Recipes:
– all recipes can be found in the "Images" section (except for Podzol Dirt due to no more place on the image, it's made by 6 dirts and 3 dead bushes on it)
– Rhodonite and Ruby recipes look the same as the vanilla recipes.
– Diorite, andesite and granite can be crafted into cobblestone making them no longer useless and filling your inventory up
– Wither Boss can be summoned now without the trouble of killing over 100 wither skeletons to get heads (crafting recipe).

 

Notes:
– Rhodonite items are better than iron items.
– Ruby items are mostly equal to netherite items (better than diamond items).
– Rainbow items can be obtained only in Creative mode.
– Rainbow armor stats are equal to Ruby armor stats, except for the enchantability, rainbow armor has more enchants (like gold armor).
– Experience ores are not affected by Fortune enchantment.

 

Known issues:
– For the time being custom shovels' effectiveness doesn't affect flint gravel.
